WimO Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Today I have re-posted all of the scenarios in my series "The 82nd Airborne in Normandy" and added the final three: "DeGlopper's Medal of Honor", "Le Motey", and "Amfreville - Strike Two!". The re-posting was necessitated by a renumbering of a portion of the series to place DeGlopper in the correct sequence and because I edited all the scenario text files to correct spelling, grammar and numbering errors as well as revising a few of the Special Rules. Unless stated otherwise in the Special Rules included with some of my scenarios, players should not pre-plot mortar or artillery fire on turn one when playing any of the scenarios. This ends my 82nd Abn. series which has focused primarily on the fight to secure the La Fiere causeway and the town of Amfreville with a sidebar to the south to cover Lt. Col. Shanley's stand on Hill 30. There were equally important actions going on east of the Merdert to secure St. Mere Eglise and hold it against German counter-attacks and the securing of the eastern end of the Chef-du-Point bridges and causeway. At this point I am retiring from scenario and map creation to redirect my time to completing modding an unfinished plastic model (Red Knight of Vienna), painting a few hundred 15mm samurai (I should life so long), playing some of my other favourite computer games - Silent Hunter III (modded), Samurai 2 Total War (modded), Scourge of War Waterloo (modded), Wings of Flanders Fields Between Heaven and Hell, CMFB, CMRT, CMFI ... too many and too little time left.. I may or may not get around to finishing reskinning the CMBN modular buildings and barns to look more Dutch. My backing off from modding CMBN does not mean that I am backing off from playing what has become my favourite game. Indeed, I would be very pleased if any of you would play any of the H2H scenarios which I have created. Happy gaming all. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for CMBN you have done a great service Wim and at least a few of us are benefitting. As you know I have two of your battles under way as H2H, (one of which wasn't meant to be H2H) but I wouldn't mind another against you at some point if that's what you mean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the kind words. Yes, playing with me is what I meant to say. You are welcome to chose the scenario and side. Since I am the author I also invite you to look at both sides of the scenario to be as well informed as I. Then we can set up a Dropbox share. Warning. I strongly suspect that my last two scenarios - Le Motey and Amfreville - Strike Two will be difficult for the American player. Silent Hunter III - GWX v3 Gold. But in near future hope to try the mod LSH3 2022. Edited June 22 by WimO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got to know Amfreville quite well already from 'Boots on the ground' , including odd quirks of where certain vehicles can and can't go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Such a shame that the entire series isn't available in single-player format. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Programming AI responses to create a challenging, varied and enjoyable game takes many! more hours of time and testing than an H2H scenario. Many more hours. That said, anyone has always been welcome to use the Scenario Editor to modify any of my scenarios as they please including tinkering with play balance, making corrections, or converting more of the SP to H2H and those exclusively H2H to SP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, I agree. And the work that you have done has been impressive. But, when you are 400 years old trying to adapt your H2H scenarios to SP is beyond my Ken. Hence my use of the phrase "such a shame". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacillator Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 (edited) Age is just a number. So they say . Wim, Dave and I are just starting Timmes Digs In if you want feedback on that one? I've read your notes carefully. Being the gentleman he is, he selected the one with the larger version of the German forces (Edit: for clarity that's me, he's 82nd through and through). I'd like a few more troops though and we could forget history and have a few Tigers on hand? Edited June 23 by Vacillator 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
